Abstract

The use of secondary databases is an efficient and economic means by which to analyze data in empirical research. The speed and relatively low cost of secondary databases in the field of Islamic economics make them ideal for good research outcomes. However, no or little attention has been paid to the use of secondary data in the experimental research in Islamic economics. The aim of this paper is to stimulate the interest of Islamic economics and finance researchers in using secondary data, either as a substitute or complement for primary data, bearing in mind both the benefits and shortcomings of doing so. It is suggested that secondary databases not only offer advantages in terms of cost and effort, but also that in certain cases their use may overcome some of the difficulties that particularly afflict Islamic economics researchers in the gathering of primary data. In order to help Islamic economists respond to this call for greater consideration of the potential offered by secondary databases, the wide variety of forms that such data may take is indicated and a number of themes regarding their use and promising role discussed. يمثل استخدام قواعد البيانات الثانوية لتحليل المعطيات في البحث التجريبي أداة فعالة واقتصادية وذلك للميزات والخصائص التي تتصف بـها. فالسرعة والكلفة البسيطة في استخدام هذه القواعد في حقل الاقتصاد الإسلامي تجعلان منها أداة مثلى في تحقيق نتائج بحثية جيدة. على الرغم من هذا فإن استخدام البيانات الثانوية في البحوث الميدانية لم تعر له العناية اللازمة، هذا إن وجدت، في مجال أبحاث الاقتصاد الإسلامي. هذه الورقة تهدف إلى تحفيز ولفت أنظار الباحثين في الاقتصاد الإسلامي لأهمية استخدام المعطيات الثانوية كمكمل أو كبديل للمعطيات الأولية، آخذين في عين الاعتبار المزايا والسلبيات التي ترافق عملية الاستخدام هذه. فمن المؤمل أن مزايا استخدام قواعد البيانات الثانوية سوف لن يكون مقصوراً على مسألتي الكلفة والجهد، بل في بعض الحالات يؤدي استخدامها إلى التغلب على الصعوبات التي تعترض سبيل الباحثين في الاقتصاد الإسلامي في عملية جمع البيانات الأولية. من أجل مساعدة الاقتصاديين المسلمين للوقوف على الإمكانيات الهائلة التي تتيحها هذه القواعد فسيتم التعرض للأشكال المتنوعة لهذه القواعد، وطرائق استخدامها في مجالات متنوعة مع مناقشة دورها الواعد.
